Wheel of Fortune News
We are having so much fun playing Wheel of Fortune. We have
three time slots to play each week, Thursdays at 10:00, and
Fridays at 10:00 & 10:30.
Each time slot has eight spaces for players. I have posted
a list on the bulletin board of each of the time slots and the 8
residents assigned for each one. Please check the bulletin board
to verify your time and day. Due to the excellent interest in
playing, we need to limit each game to the 8 players listed on
the bulletin board, in order for everyone to have at least one turn
each round.
If you are interested in being a “ fill in” for when one of the regulars are absent, please call the
office. If/when we have enough interest for another game I will post it on the bulletin board for
sign up. Thanks so much; I am glad y’all are enjoying playing!

The Dangers of Overheating
in Older Adults
Hot weather can have a dire effect on senior health because the aging body has a harder time
regulating its internal temperature. Do you know what steps to take to avoid overheating? Too much
heat can be dangerous at any age, but as you get older, your body has an even harder time dealing with
extreme heat, putting you at a higher risk of overheating and heat stroke. You can reduce this risk by taking a
few steps to protect your health when the weather is hot.
Your brain sends special signals to your body when it begins to overheat. The signals prompt your body to
release hormones that cause you to sweat. Think of sweating as your body’s central air-conditioning system,
cooling you down both at the skin surface and internally as your body temperature decreases.
But sometimes it gets too hot for this cooling mechanism to work, and it can become less efficient
as you get older. A number of factors can put you at higher risk of overheating as you age,
including: Decreased blood circulation, Sweat glands that have become inefficient. Weakness or
fever due to age-related illness (such as heart, lung, or kidney disease). A salt-restricted diet for
high blood pressure. Certain medications (such as heart and blood pressure drugs, sedatives, and
tranquilizers). Being overweight or underweight. Lifestyle factors that range from living in a hot home
and overdressing. Knowing When Your Body Is Overheating: It's important to recognize
symptoms of overheating as soon as possible. Heat-related illnesses range from muscle cramps,
swelling, and dizziness to more serious problems such as heat exhaustion. The most severe
outcome of overheating is heat stroke, a potentially life-threatening condition that may require
emergency medical attention. Symptoms of overheating may include: Sudden dizziness, Thirst,
Headache, Nausea, Muscle spasms, Cramps in your abdomen, arms, or legs, Fatigue,
Swelling in your ankles, Lack of coordination, Cold clammy skin. If you or someone you're with
has any of the following signs or symptoms, you may have heat stroke and you should seek emergency
medical care immediately: High body temperature (over 104ºF), Confusion changes in behavior,
Fainting or feeling like you're going to faint, Staggering, Strong rapid pulse or slow, weak pulse,
Dry skin, Flushed skin, Lack of sweating despite the hot. How to Keep From Getting Overheated:
Take these steps to reduce your risk of overheating when the weather is warm. Listen to the
weather forecast. Pay close attention to local weather reports, especially in the summer months,
so that you know when it's too hot to go outside. Stay in to stay cool. When the weather is hot and
humid, and when an air pollution alert is in effect, stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment. Keep
your home cool. Avoid exercising in the heat. Exercise indoors on hot days; if you want to
exercise outdoors, wait until the weather cools down and never work out in the hottest part of the
day. Dress appropriately. On warm days, wear cool, light-colored clothes made of natural fabrics
like cotton. Drink plenty of liquids. Increase your intake of water, fruit juices, vegetable juices, and
other hydrating liquids on hot days. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine and alcohol act as
diuretics and cause your body to lose fluids, so limit these beverages, especially when the weather
is hot. Warmth can be welcoming, especially when you have aches and pains in your joints, but you
need to protect yourself against the dangerous effects of hot weather. When it comes to hot
weather, too much of a good thing can become a senior health hazard.
Making Memories with Angie
July will come in with Fun & Flair! There will be many activities to amuse, delight and educate YOU
this month. We have many reasons to celebrate our Democracy & Freedoms this 4th of July! We’ll really
enjoy our old friends, The Carroll’s Creek Blue Grass Boys, on the night of the 5th. You’ll be treated to a
complimentary hot dog supper prior to their performance! As usual John Ingram will come with watermelon,
tomatoes and cantaloupe on Saturday the 9th. He will have summer fruits, vegetables and plants also. Come
on to the APR and remember you can charge your purchases on your Pine Valley!
Join in classes; Carly’s Flowers, Poetry and Presidents…Enjoy Classical Music… A Spelling Bee and
John Price’s Magic Show! We’ll end our month with a great DUO Social Hour Pizza Party and Penny Auction!
Loads of cool events & Lots of Laughter are in store for you in these ~ Lazy July Days ~ Won’t You Come Join
Us?
Carly’s Corner
July 4th here we come!
Whatever makes you feel like welcoming the summer, please keep in mind some things that
can truly keep us cool in these beginning dog days. Summer can be a glorious time to spend
outdoors, but before you do, remember PROTECTION! Protect your skin from ultraviolet rays of
the sun by using an SPF over 50. The higher the SPF, the better! Also, protect your skin from bugs
by using a hypoallergenic bug repellent. Most new sprays have a very nice fragrance to them and
still keep those pesky bugs from biting your skin! And lastly, protect your body from dehydration by
keeping at least 16 ounces of water with you at all times especially if when you are outside.
See you in the APR!
~ Carly
